1.3 Modern Greek Seminar: Kostis Kornetis (University of Oxford)

“The Three Generations of Transition: Memories of the Metapolitefsi in Comparative Perspective (Greece, Spain, Portugal)” Ground Floor Lecture Room 1, 47 Wellington Square, 21 February, 5pm Battles over how we remember the past are not just battles about the past; they also structure the political space of the present. In the light of the Great Recession, the political narratives of the 1970s are rearing their heads again as they are deployed to talk about contemporary political alignments and impasses. This talk investigates how distinct political generations experienced and remember the transition from authoritarianism to democracy in Greece, introducing to the literature the crucial role of generational memory in shaping the political, social and cultural developments of the entire post-authoritarian period. The paper draws on in-depth interviews with exponents of three distinct generations (Generations 1, 1.5 and 2) to make sense of the different ways in which the past is being remembered and contested at present. It further uses the parallel cases of Spain and Portugal to dissect the mnemonic battles between individual and collective memory, private microhistories and established narratives, in comparative perspective that brings to light the shared origins of contemporary crises in the European South.

3.4 Auditions: Les bouches inutiles by Simone de Beauvoir

Audition dates: February 25th from 14:00-16:00, February 26th from 19:00-21:00 Performance dates: TTW6 and TTW9 (TBC) Long Room, New College Oxford. Set in medieval Flanders, the city-state of Vaucelles is under siege and food supplies are running low in the weeks leading up to a decisive battle. When the male rulers decide to kill off the city’s ‘useless mouths’ -- women, children, the elderly-- to ensure their own survival, moral and political dilemmas arise between rulers and citizens, family members and lovers. Les bouches inutiles (1945) was the only play written by Simone de Beauvoir, best known for her ground-breaking feminist work The Second Sex, her acclaimed novels and autobiographical works. The play will be contextualized with relevant excerpts of Beauvoir’s letters and life-writing. The audition will constitute of cold reading without any necessary preparation. Although the performance will be in French, we welcome French language-learners to audition. We strongly encourage actors from all levels of experience, backgrounds, gender-identities and ethnicities to audition. Although Long Room is accessed by stairs, please do not hesitate to email us for an alternative fully-accessible location or additional accessibility information.

4.3 Volunteers needed in Latin America from Jan/Feb 2020

Students of Spanish looking for a placement in their year abroad could consider teaching English in the historic country town of Santa María de Fe, Misiones, Paraguay. Though the work is unpaid, life is very cheap, so you may be better off than in a low-paid job in Spain. The students are selected for their aptitude and pay nothing for their classes because they are poor. Prior training in teaching English language teaching is not necessary. The Santa Maria Education Fund is a UK registered charity. * Please see item 4.3 attachment for further information: https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/x/3V19Fc DISCLAIMER: Please note that the inclusion of vacancies received by the Faculty is a facility to assist students in sourcing possible placements and does not constitute any sort of recommendation of the organisation, or agreement with the content of the vacancies; the Faculty attempts to provide as much information on vacancies available to students as possible and makes every effort to check that the content complies with equality legislation and is otherwise appropriate for student employment but cannot confirm the quality of the experience. Where negative feedback from previous students is received, appropriate action is taken. Students should make every effort to conduct their own research into the opportunities and providers to reassure themselves of the quality of the provision.
